Convinced myself it would make for a good trial run. Despite the site having decent traffic and good google rank, I instantly found myself missing the slew of data provided by the PRWeb releases and received about 1/100 of the traffic. Plus posting to a "free site" meant that my release is covered with google ads. Its worth the price of PRWeb's admission not to provide advertising space to competitors targeted to our news. Thanks for an interesting article.

I have used a variety of free services and the real goal, as you said, is if gets into Google. I really don't think that these services go to journalists. I think that their real goal is to build google adwords, etc. At any rate, thanks for the info.
